Reprogramming your brain to overcome fear: Olympia LePoint at TEDxPCC


Often called «The New Einstein,» Olympia LePoint is best known for her role as an award-winning rocket scientist, science entertainer and educator driving to help people overcome fear. As an internationally-recognized science leader, LePoint helped launch NASAs Endeavour, Discovery, Columbia, and Atlantis Space Shuttles. She successfully helped launch 28 Space Shuttle Missions into Space. She won The 2004 Boeing Company Professional Excellence Award, and The 2003 Engineer of the Year «Modern Day Technology Leader» Award.  Mathaphobia: How You Can Overcome Your Math Fears and Become a Rocket Scientist is her debut self-help, educational book designed to empower adults and help students ace STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education.
 
As CEO of OL Consulting Corporation, LePoint publishes educational books and executive produces Science TV shows.  With her extensive experience as a  math professor, LePoint educates in person and through the media. As a top-five graduate, LePoint holds a Bachelors of Science Degree in Mathematics, and a Masters of Science Degree in Applied Mathematics from California State University Northridge.  LePoint advises for educational PBS TV programming with Wind Dancer Films, coaches through keynote speeches and workshops, and is as a media personality for TV, Radio, News Publications and Social Media outlets.

Diabetes


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Recent discoveries (many in my lab) on the links between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease; translation of that lab work into real-life advice and consequences.

My work examines the role of metabolic processes in regulating brain function, and specifically in regulating memory processing. We use a variety of animal models to examine the behavioral and neurochemical impact of modulations including diet-induced insulin resistance, beta-amyloid, insulin, and recurrent hypoglycemia.

Key discoveries have included:

Drainage of glucose from the brain extracellular fluid at times of high cognitive demand, showing that glucose demand can exceed supply and be limiting for cognitive performance.

Altered brain glucose transport and diffusion in the aged brain.

A key role for insulin in hippocampal cognitive and metabolic processes; conversely, the impact of insulin resistance on hippocampal function.

The cognitive, metabolic and neural impact of recurrent hypoglycemia (RH), a key side-effect of insulin therapy that limits achievement of target blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Recently, the mechanistic links between RH and subsequent weight gain.

Mechanistic links between beta-amyloid and both (i) hippocampal metabolism and (ii) central insulin signalling.

A central role for GluT4 in hippocampal cognitive processes.

To date I have roughly 50 peer-reviewed journal papers with ~2500 citations, at an h-index of 26; my work has been funded by the NIH, ADA, JDRF, Alzheimer’s Association and several state and private grants. In addition, my lab has won awards for excellence in student research every year during my time at U.Albany, and I have several teaching and mentoring awards.

From a patient or layperson’s point of view, my work shows that lifestyle elements – such as lack of exercise, caffeine intake, drinking red wine, or overeating – have direct and measureable impact on brain function, diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, and risk of death. We can make specific recommendations for change, and show at the molecular level how choices made every day about diet – and even about things like doing a crossword instead of watching TV – affect your brain’s function.

Better Medicine Through Machine Learning | Suchi Saria | TEDxBoston


Faster medical treatment saves lives. Machine Learning is already saving lives, by scouring a multitude of patients’ data and comparing them to one patient’s health data to detect symptoms 12 to 24 hours sooner than a doctor could. «In many pressing medical problems, the answers to knowing whom to treat, when to treat, and what to treat with, might already be in your data» says Suchi Saria. Learn how TREWS (Targeted Real-time Early Warning Score) is leading the way to save lives.

Suchi Saria is a professor of computer science and health policy, and director of the Machine Learning and Health Lab at Johns Hopkins University. Her research is focused on designing data solutions for providing individualized care.
